We鈥檝e all experienced that intense feeling or at least seen it in others before. Your heart flutters, you suddenly develop a crippling stutter and your eyes always wander towards that person without your conscious consent. It鱿鱼视频app incredibly awkward.
I have an entire process. First, I actually have to admit that I like someone. It鱿鱼视频app hard for me to come to terms with feelings like that. Other things just seem to be more important than paying attention to what I consider a fleeting crush. I brush it off as a phase and just ignore it until it goes away.
But when I can鈥檛 just brush it off, that鱿鱼视频app when the crush becomes unavoidable. Suddenly, I鈥檓 overly aware of how I act around the person. This is when all I can think about is that ever-elusive question: to be or not to be silent?
Maybe the feelings are so unavoidable that I must let the other person know. But usually I refuse to say anything at all. I once thought that crushes and the will-they-or-won鈥檛-they suspense was just a part of life 鈥� something you had to go through 鈥� until I came across a reading in the Bible.
One day, Jesus was talking to His disciples and said, 鈥淐an any of you live a bit longer by worrying about it? If you can鈥檛 manage even such a small thing, why worry about the other things?鈥� (Luke 12:25-26). Jesus was telling them not to worry about their food and clothes, but I think it can apply to any sort of dilemma.
By these terms, Jesus is telling me that if it鱿鱼视频app meant to be then He will make a way. There鱿鱼视频app no sense of working myself up in the meantime.
I鈥檓 not saying that we won鈥檛 have to worry ever again because that鱿鱼视频app not realistic. But maybe surrendering our anxieties is step one.
Step two is to pray and wait for the right opportunities because the first relationship we all need to work on is the one we have with God. We forget that He loved us first.
Further into Jesus鈥� speech, He says, 鈥淵our Father knows that you need these things. Instead, be concerned with His Kingdom, and He will provide you with these things鈥� (Luke 12:30-31). In other words, God provides. He knows our hearts and therefore, He knows what our hearts deserve.
I guess if romance is meant to happen, it鈥檒l happen in its own time. I just need to trust in God and have patience. If I truly believe that God鱿鱼视频app plans for me are plans to help me prosper (Jeremiah 29:11), then I shouldn鈥檛 be afraid of where I鈥檓 being led.
